Graduate Degree

Zoology offers programs leading to both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. Areas of specialization include physiology, cell and molecular biology, and ecology. Faculty research explores many levels of the biological hierarchy, from molecular to cellular to organismal studies. Located on New Hampshire's coast, the university has research facilities which take advantage of the freshwater, estuarine, coastal, and oceanic environments. There is a strong emphasis among the faculty on using marine or freshwater organisms as experimental systems.
